Philadelphia Flyers vs Washington Capitals Prediction: The Capitals don't intend to lose points against an outsider

Prediction for the NHL Philadelphia Flyers vs Washington Capitals match, which will take place on January 12. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Lately, Philadelphia has been delighting its fans with its play. The team has had far from the toughest calendar. Still, four wins in the last five games is an excellent result for an outsider - 4:2 over Los Angeles, 4:1 over Anaheim, 6:2 over Arizona, and 4:0 over Buffalo. Those victories improved the team's standing in the Metropolitan Division a bit. The Flyers are now nine points behind the playoff zone.

Washington climbed into the playoff zone and relaxed a bit. Thus, in their last five games, the team has three wins and two losses, one outside of regular time, with a score of 22:17 - the fourth-highest total in the Eastern Conference during that stretch. As for the Capitals' position in the Metropolitan Division table, they are fourth with 52 points. In the last game, the Capitals beat Columbus with a score of 1:0.

Washington is the game's favorite, which is not surprising at all. Philadelphia showed promising results in the last five games, but they met with teams of equal or less the same class. The Capitals are fighting for a place in the top 3 of the Metropolitan Division, and they do not intend to lose points in a matchup with an outsider. With that in mind, we suggest betting on a clean win for the second team.
